OK I Admit I Am!  I was googling ThunderBay Ontario (I have a friend from Canada, thought of her, remembered my training month in Canada and then Thunderbay). When I googled it, I came across this amazingly wonderful blog written by a Northeast Ohioan named Don Iannone. He is an economic development consultant and his website http://www.don-iannone.com includes profile information that covers his work with everything from a Cherokee Indian project to work with local governments and publishing journals.  The blog is wonderful enough when it gives you all sorts of issues on economic development, but it also has a side project lol.  He has a poetry section!  I'm going to try to feature other bloggers whenever I can, so we can benefit from their creativity and knowledge.....check out his poetry and accompanying photography! Go to:  http://www.don-iannone.com/edfutures/index.html.   He has a Zen section too which is fun.

I have a favorite Zen quote of my own from my Zen calendar.  It is the post from September 19 2006: 

When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.

Kikuyu Proverb.
